howell dawdy - boo, i'm a ghost lyrics

boo, i’m a ghost
boo, i’m a ghost
boo, i’m a ghost
boo, i’m a ghost

“boo, i’m a ghost”, that’s my greeting
sometimes i have to repeat it, ’cause people start screaming
they run back down the hall, shut the door and lock it
so i step through the wall ’cause i wasn’t finished talking
i tell ’em, “boo i’m a ghost, i live here too”
crazy that it’s taken me this long to talk to you
i mean, i watch you all the time, and you seem pretty cool
but if we’re gonna live together, you should get to know the rules

number one, i’m a ghost, i do what i want
this is the house i died in, it’s the house i’ll haunt
only other rule is keep a chill morning routine
’cause most nights i’m up pretty late watching you sleep
but i don’t mind people, in fact i used to be one
but eventually human forms become empty ones
so who knows if you and i end up getting along nicely?
we could haunt this house together when they bury that old body
boo, i’m a ghost
boo, i’m a ghost
boo, i’m a ghost
boo, i’m a ghost

now a lot of people are scared of me
why would you be scared of me?
i’m made of air and i’m depressed, i feel like you could take me

i mean, yes, i make noises in the middle of the night
and yes, i rattle windows and i fl!cker the lights
and yes, i represent suffering after death
and yes, i raise a lot of crazy spiritual questions
but i don’t carry bacteria, or viruses or germs
my hair’s not full of lice and my bowels aren’t full of worms
and i’m not built of gradually decaying meat and skin
i mean for real, let’s take an inventory of what’s actually frightening

blood: i don’t have it, but you do
guts: i don’t have ’em, but you do
bile: i don’t have it, but you do
you’re like a bag of stuff that’s gross even in you
tears: i don’t have ’em, but you do
other fluids: i don’t have ’em, but you do
fat cells: i don’t have them, but you do
you’re like three steps away from being an unpleasant stew
boo, i’m a ghost
boo, i’m a ghost
boo, i’m a ghost
boo, i’m a ghost

boo i’m a ghost, sorry i think i mentioned that
sorry i keep sneaking up on you too, i always do that
hey, what’s with all the boxes? you moving out?
just when i’d adjusted to having you around?
is this ’cause you were in the attic and i maniacally laughed?
or because i popped up in the mirror while you were taking a bath?
are you mad that i like to distract you when you’ve got the stove on?
it’s just i’d counted on you dying here and it’s taking so long

not that i mind people, in fact i used to be one
but i like human beings less than the ghostly ones
so it’d be nice if you and i could sort this thing out
then we could haunt this house together when your body’s in the ground

boo, i’m a ghost
boo, i’m a ghost
boo, i’m a ghost
boo, i’m a ghost
i’m a ghost

2013, halloween
everybody be safe out there
keep your ear to the ground
keep your eyes on the stars
be sure to wear comfortable, sensible footwear if you’re gonna be trick+or+treating
oh that’s right, i threw in a baby sound effect here at the end of this song in case you weren’t already terrified
just seems kinda messed up to me, i guess
in the, you know, context
